At first glance this sounds impressive. Sony is now promising 380 games for the PS3 by March. Yeah THIS March. As in about “the gestation period of baby” from now.

Keep in mind that almost half of these are going to be “downloadable” games. Okay so THAT’S why SCEA studios in San Diego are shifting their focus to games for what will essentially be the Sony version of XBLA.

Sorry! I’m calling bull butter here. I’ll bet some of these games are going to be no different than counting ketchup as a vegetable in school lunches.

“Hey can we call that media browser a game?”
“Well, it’s fun to browse media, so sure… While we’re at it that power button can be fun to push, let’s call that a game too!”
“Brilliant! We’ll call it POWER UP”

I know some of you think I’m a hater, and you’re right. But I don’t want to be. If you’re gonna make 380 games DO IT. Show them to me. Now they’re over promising and setting themselves up to under deliver…. AGAIN.
